Red Storm - first skirmish!

[Digits]

Yup…sounds like hard work though!


Anyway quick update.   All the gable ends are done, door handles added and now I will plank out the balance of the first house.   I’m tempted to finish the first build so I can adjust the others as necessary…..we shall see.

[Digits]

Ok….trying to work up one to completion.   Nearly there.  The fur needs to dry on before I slick it down, trim and add roof sticks.  I may also add shutters yet.







However, you can see the look I’m going for I think.  I added a little wood-store to this one, and will do similar to a few others.   The timber took ages…..annoyingly I doubt I have patience to batch this lot….so I am looking do do in batch of fours.    One large (this one) and three small to a batch.

Don't trim it. Just call it Dougal or.... Boris. 

[Digits]

Tempting…..but.

So this is the final build.   Hoping the painted model will look ok.

11 more to go!

Nice work on the Hairy House!

Nice work on the Hairy House!

It's a Hairyhausen production. Chap is using stop motion cinematography.

In all seriousness, very nice work. Can't wait to see how these come out when painted.

[CapnJim]

Your progress continues to impress.  Well done!

[Digits]

I wish….

Well actually, with the promise of a game or two teaching someone CoC, I have a little impetus  to finish off the Russians.   The platoon (in the box) is half way there, and I just finished off a few Bad Squiddo female tankers to man the KV1/2 and the T 34.  The tanks were painted by Jamie along with a few others for me.  I will put up action shots of them all when I get the platoon and a few supports done…..

Looking very nice David.
Jamie continues to churn out excellent work.
Good luck on spreading the CoC. I do warn you I gave ONE
small game to...well you, & look what happened!!!!

[carlos marighela]

Those tanks look excellent!

[Hu Rhu]

Looking good.  Nice idea of using the female tankers.  Probably better shots than the men.

[Digits]

Probably more aggressive for sure! 

In all seriousness, so long as you don’t paint them with lipstick and keep them as grimy as the men, they are good minis.

I have a few holes in my CoC support options that I have filled with Squido women..like the ATR team and a second Maxim team…..

[CapnJim]

Those really look good!

[Utgaard]

Great looking ladies ... and tanks

Agreed, I mixed some in with my Eureka force and they mix well. I did limit myself to snipers though.
